Systemic Network 6 (1/12).

The electric analogue of the systemic circulation consists of twelve different comparments. Each compartment is explained in the following slides. Qria is the input right atrial flow; Qlo is the ouput left ventricular flow; Qartery (Qvenous) is the coronary artery (venous) blood flow; Rthor is the thoracic resistance. All compartments are modelled using lumped parameter models (0-D).

In this numerical model the "ascending aorta and aortic arch" are divided in two compartments. This slide shows the firts compartment: Qaa₁ (Qaa₂) is the "ascending aorta and aortic arch" flow in the first (second) section. This first compartment is modelled with RLC element.Qhd₁ and Qar₁are the "arm" and "head" flow respectively. Resistances, compliance and inertance are expressed in [mmHg·cm^-3·sec], [mmHg^-1·cm³] and [mmHg·cm^-3·sec²], respectively.

Also the renal and hepatic sections are modelled with two 2-WM elements. Rkid₁ (Rhep₁) is the kidney (hepatic) variable resistance. Cinf_VC is the compliance of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Qinf_VC (Pinf_VC) is the IVC flow (pressure). Cab (Rab) is the abdominal vena cava (AVC) compliance (resistance). Pab is the AVC pressure, Pkid (Phep) is the kidney (hepatic) pressure. The equations solve the electric analogue.

The superior vena cava (SVC) section is modelled with a RC (2-WM) element. Pra is the right atrial pressure and Pt is the mean intrathoracic pressure.Qar₂ (Qhd₂) is the arms (head) blood flow. The inferior vena cava (IVC) flow is divided in two parts: one part (Qinf_VC1) is the input of SVC section and the second part (Qinf_VC2) is the input of the right atria. Qvenous is the coronary venous flow.
